young moms

Is anyone else a young mom ? I'm 17 and since i decided i was keeping my baby all everyone's done is tell me negative things.. like how bad it'll hurt, how hard it'll be, how i just ruined my life... does anyone else find this annoying?

I'm 17 also, & I was told the same things.. But who cares what others think. All we need to worry about is our little one & nobody else. (:

I'm 20. Got pregnant at 19. However i graduated high school at 16, got a full time job and had one ever since. And graduated cosmetology school, tested, & got my license in 2 states.. and people still are talking crap saying I can't do it, it's gonna be so hard, it's gonna ruin my life, I have no idea what I got myself into.. BUT my son in my belly is the biggest blessing I have ever got in my entire life. The BEST thing that has ever happened to me! Do not let anybody get in your head!! You be strong for you and your baby. Screw everyone and their opinions!

You are already a good mom because you are choosing to give your baby a good life over the thought of your own.  It's not that painful and you forget it all when holding your baby.. and being a mother is the best feeling in the world..

Im 18 and going to be a mommy of a Boy :) and it is annoying hearing this over and over again, as long as you are going to give your baby what he is going to need, you don't suppose to care what other people think or say about you&baby.

I'm 20, so I'm not too far ahead, Vitter I've had some negative comments.
I've learned to come back with a funny reply.
Like I always get asked "was that 10 minutes of sex worth it"
And I'm like "Heck yeah it was, I have an amazing baby coming now".
But I would just ignore them. I'm glad you're going to keep your baby <3
